Carol Grimes: Carol Grimes (Decca) ****
Chas de Whalley, Sounds, 16 October 1976
THIS IS CAROL Grimes' legendary Memphis album, the one that she cut in Tennessee the best part of two years ago but has never had released. When I first met the lady some months back this album was all she could talk about, and with good reason for, if anything is ever to bring Carol Grimes to the notice of the Great British population, then these eleven tracks should just do it.
